The NZ rescue team deployed to Vanuatu after the deadly 7.3 earthquake has returned home. Urban Search and Rescue leader Ken Cooper praised their “ultimate professionalism” during the 10-day mission, which included assessing damaged buildings and aiding evacuations. “We had a special Christmas lunch with a local village,” Cooper shared. The team is now resting, but NZ’s aid to Vanuatu continues.
